SIMA VYAS

Nomination for the S&A Group Election - 2019

I have been with the CFIA for thirteen years and now work as a Specialist in the Variety Registration Office, Seed Section.  

Currently I am the NCR representative on the S&A executive committee and contributing on significant agenda to make positive difference in the current system. I have experience in helping the members as a steward. In past, as the President (2017/18) of the PIPSC Ottawa West Branch, I organized social and learning events for the benefits to the PIPSC community. In last four years, I have actively participated in the PIPSC branch level, regional level and national level meetings and made suggestions considering the member’s benefits.

Since 2009, I have been the Chair of the CFIA-NCR Equity and Diversity Council.  I have negotiated with management on change agenda and implemented improvements at the Agency successfully.  In 2015 I received the President’s National Award for Leadership for my work with the E&D Council.  

I would like to continue applying my skills and knowledge in negotiation, strategic thinking and problem solving and fair representation in the interests of NCR members in the position as NCR Regional Representative on the CFIA S&A Executive.
